Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2019
868. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for invalidity pension in the case of a person (details supplied); when the application will be brought to a conclusion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23368/19]
View answerThe department received a claim for invalidity pension for the lady referred to on 26 February 2019. She has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 28 February 2019. Payment will issue to her nominated post office on 20 June 2019. Any arrears due from 28 February 2019 to 19 June 2019 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue as soon as possible. The lady in question was notified of this decision on 31 May 2019.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
